just watched the eurogamer recap on the metal gear franchise and my head is full of fuck.

will watch the gametrailers one later.

is the story really this convoluted?

now that's wrong attitude, it is supposed to be, the more confusing the better, in case of MGS that is.

Indeed.

That prologue yo!

 

[Hero Prinny]

Indeed.

That prologue yo!

Prologue is hot, so bizzare yo

 

[FloatOn]

like I said before I really liked metal gear solid on psx and I tried to like mgs2 but after the boss on roller blades I bailed out because weirdness.

I should get my key and start on ground zeroes at the very least by this weekend. look forward to impressions from a total mgs n00b

It's convoluted if you consider the events of MGS4 as well.

MGS2 is just the bad guys

Spoiler

trying to control the world via information control

 

[legacyzero]

happy born day

That's because it's wishful thinking, while reality is other one

Spoiler

I had to

yah, I noticed my mistake, I was checking chocobo, not a bundle

I'm really loving MGS, just...doesn't seem like a MGS game yet. Other than the prologue, not too much fuckery yet.



Happy day of birth.

Kojima says final farewell to Metal Gear Solid in emotional video

Its a shame that he created the franchise and made it what it is today and he has no rights to it. Laws should change, creators should be the one that own their babies, not souless money hungry companies

IDK, there is no such thing as too weird, if you wanna know deepness of weird we can get down to, you should try Higurashi, now that's weird, and not convoluted even.

That didn't work really well for comics back in the 90s :V
Besides Kojima isn't really THE ONE PERSON WHO MADE ALL THE MGS GAMES.
Even if he is the brain child it wouldn't be what it is without the help of others such as Shinkawa.

 

[cyba89]

That new Big Picture-interface is really good. It's also a lot smoother for me.

This was more emotional than I expected. Good stuff.

 

[Baron_Calamity]

Indeed.

That prologue yo!

 

[Volimar]

So bummed at the XCOM 2 delay. Guess I'll just get plenty of time with Fallout 4. Restarted The Long War. Knowing what I know now, I don't try to take on missions out of my league. Slow and steady.

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

Thought the MGSV prologue was tedious and unnecessarily bloated.

dunno why people love it so much

 

[spindoctor]

The Ubi bundle has sold 38,000 copies at an average of $8 each. It seems to be doing pretty well.

 

[Lomax]

The Ubi bundle has sold 38,000 copies at an average of $8 each. It seems to be doing pretty well.

For a weekly bundle that would be doing okay. For a main bundle, that's about as bad as I can remember for a first day. Things like the EA bundles sold more than that in the first hour.

 

[Messiah]

Yeah I really liked the first half of the prologue, but then it dragged on too long and it wasn't even a good tutorial for people who don't really know how the controls and mechanics work.

People love their Tom Clancy

 

[Hektor]

No way. Where? I need this, haven't found any good ones yet.

I need it, someone give answer.

Main-Ops 8, the village on the hill (Quarya Sakra Ee), its in one of the houses to the west.

 

[Knurek]

Well, Origin bundles had Steam keys, so...

 

[Dr Dogg]

I bet all of them purchased by Yves Guillemot under different pseudonyms.

 

[Leafhopper]

Happy Birthday, LZ.

 

[zkylon]

Someday Obsidian will make an Fallout with the Pillars Of Eternity.

Someday.


;___;

i hope so

but first i hope they add real mod support to eternity so i can mod them fucking spiders out -__-

Wow, that looks amazing.

i still think the old fallout games look pretty good to this day, obviously very compressed and low-res and crap, but that era aged really well for me, at least visually

(that's using a bit of a resolution mod)

like look at this beauty!

 

[Tizoc]

So One Piece Pirate Warriors 3 has sold over 20,000 copies.
Not bad for a PS3 port

How many at $0.69 though?

 

[Tizoc]

How many at $0.69 though?

Good question!

 

[Lomax]

I guess by revenue the Clancy bundle is actually doing pretty well. I wonder if uPlay makes 300k in sales a day via the client. I kinda doubt it.

Fucking hell. I am glad I haven't had Comcast in my entire life but damn so many of my friends have it, so I heard of the complaints over the passed well decade. I got Time Warner Cable myself.

Also I find it weird that Comcast can just dominate big cities like that.

Well, this has been on my steam wishlist, guess it's time to add it to the pile.

 

[morningbus]

Don't worry, I'm sure they'll waive the $30 actually-unlimited fee if you sign up for an Xfinity triple play package with speed burst and Streampix, the best way to catch up on all the television you love.

Not sure. It should update soon. If not it will be there by tomorrow.

 

[Baron_Calamity]

Lately I've been trying to gather up my digital purchases from old online stores. Seeing if any keys will activate on steam. Problem is, I'm not sure I remember them all. In fact, I'm pretty sure I'm forgetting one.

I've researched:
Amazon digital library
Impulse / Gamestop
Direct2drive
Games for Windows Live Marketplace. (which oddly enough worked really well on windows 10 and I was able to download, restore, and play games I purchased which I never could do the past year while I was running Windows 8. Of course none of the keys activate on steam)
Uplay (haha)
EA downloader / EA - Market Place / Origin
Onlive / Gametap / GoG(listing them just for completion. I know nothing I own on those would activate on steam)

Maybe I've got them all but I'm still thinking there was another one. I am thinking it had a stand alone app but digital river was the store drm. Any ideas what this other service was?

 

[Jawmuncher]

I feel like games such as fallout 1 and 2 look pretty ugly. Not for their era but because of their art style. Then again I guess if have to get a post apocalyptic wasteland across that's one way to do it.

 

[Vazra]

Warden: Melody of the Undergrowth

Close enough to Warren.

Probably have to wait for reset in a few hours.

My best memories of the Fallout 1&2 graphics was the death animations. Otherwise I think it was pretty unremarkable. I remember thinking the Baldur's Gate games looked great in screenshots but I was much less impressed with them in motion. And they hyped the first one especially heavily on the graphics.

 

[Tizoc]

Close enough to Warren.

Speaking of which, I really hope the finale gets released within the next 2 weeks XO

 

[r3n4ud]

I don't get the suicide thing in STASIS. It's just unnecessarily gross and the fact you get achievements for it just makes it more weird.

The game itself is all right though: great visuals, fantastic sound (even the voice acting is great, although some of it is amateur hour). I was a bit disappointed when I realized there were

Spoiler

monsters

(something you realize 1-2 hours in), thought it would be

Spoiler

a more grounded story about human trafficking

(something you realize in like the first 30 minutes), kinda like a certain lesser-known Hideo Kojima game.

Thanks for the impressions!

Was going to pick it up at nuuvem, but it's no longer available

what dont u like about fallout artstyle -___-

 

[Chance Hale]

I wonder what happened with Stasis on Nuuvem. Price dropped by 11 Brazilian real hours before release after being up for nearly a week and then removed all together shortly after launch.

They did refund me the difference of the price drop though.

I think that many parts of Fallout 1 & 2 look really great and have gotten old very gracefully.

No thanks. I still have whiplash from all those Toki Tori coupons I used to have.

I still have nightmares...

Like a week ago I think, Australian Store.
